This has been a farce. It is terrible that the Minister has allowed this Bill to be guillotined in this way. I do not oppose this Bill and I believe most Members of the House support the concept of the Bill. However, it is very bad when we have not got past section 2 of the Bill. It is appalling. We genuinely wanted to tease things out so we would have a better understanding in trying to improve the Bill, if needs be.

Given we are to have no further discussion, once this is established when do we expect that SMEs will be able to apply for credit under the Bill?
